Last weekend I braved the heat to go to the flea market in search of treasure. I didn't find much, but while browsing one stand I saw a mirror leaning under the table and went in for a closer look. I was an old, narrow gold ornate framed beveled mirror. Gorgeous, but the top was broken and hanging off. "I'll give you that for $5" she said, apparently noticing my skeptical look. "Uh, ok." Five bucks? Yeah, for that I can deal with a little "character". So, I glued the top back together as best I could (admittedly, not that clean a repair) and painted it to match my little armoire. I'm liking it.
I also just hung up this bed curtain, which I got at a yard sale a couple weeks ago for $2. I have been finding some real bargains lately!

Tracy oh my gosh. What a beautiful bedroom. I really really liked what you had done with the jewelry armoire and to add a mirror to it makes it look like the perfect ensemble. Love the aqua color. I also like the bed curtain. I'd like to have one in my room. So pretty.
they're a match made in heaven. Works perfectly with the jewellery chest. I didn't realize it was so big, but now I can see it relative to your bed...wow.
So pretty!! I want one,now!
Your bedroom is looking beautiful. I agree that you should whitewash the bed, but girlfriend, you are creating a room envious of any top of the line B&B's. Great job! Connie :)
Great find on the mirror, the vendor must have had heat stroke $5?...I can't believe you braved the heat! Yep, a white wash on that bed frame and you're done, everything else looks perfect!!

Hi Tracy, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a kind comment.
I LOVE your mirror, it's absolutely fab and you picked a great colour for it. I can't believe you only paid $5 for it! The mirror with your cabinet make an awesome set!
That is the coolest headboard. You find the neatest things. I know, I know, this post is about the mirror and jewelry armoire, both which look amazing, but I am in love with that headboard.
I am in love with the matching mirror. What a great find!
Love the decor of your room. Its so calming.
